Welcome back to The becoming the big knee podcast. I'm your host

Djemilah Birnie and you are tuning into minute madness a

little dose of epicness delivered in five minutes or

less.

Birnie, Birnie here, and today I want to talk to you about sleep

and getting a better night's rest. Before 2020. The average

amount of people suffering from clinical insomnia was about 10%.

over this past year, however, it has increased significantly, the

anxiety and the stress causes our brain to go over active and

crazy and many more people are suffering with insomnia. In

fact, a study in China by Lin and his associates suggested at

37% increase in clinical insomnia, that would be almost

50% of the population suffering from clinical insomnia. Due to

the stresses of this year. That's absolutely insane. So I

wanted to go over a couple of quick little sleep hacks a

couple of quick little sleep tips to help you fall asleep

faster, get a better night's rest and become more energized

for the next day by giving your body what it needs to survive.

So my first tip is, I've been talking about this one for a

while, no tech before bed, one hour before bed, giving yourself

that space for your mind to decompress, for you to think

about your day process things without extra stimulus. And

also, the blue light from the technology affects your body to

be able to produce melatonin, which is necessary for you to

fall asleep. The second suggestion would be something

warm before bed. So whether that's a nice decaffeinated tea,

or a nice warm shower or something to just get your body

a little bit warmer, starting to feel a little bit cozier helps

to relax your body after a highly stimulating day. And then

my third tip, I would suggest to some light stretching, just

moving the stagnant energy you get, whenever anything weird

happens, you kind of hold on to that energy in your body. So I

suggest just doing some light movement, some light stretching

to help release those energetic blockages, so that your energy

flows freely while you sleep. So you can actually wake up feeling

much more rested. And then obviously, I would have to

suggest either sleep meditation or sleep hypnosis. I use the I

use my own every single night, if you would like the sleep, get

to sleep sleepy time hypnosis to shoot me over a message and I'll

send you that it basically just something to connect your mind

to your body and start to relax. So you can focus on some other

words besides the mind chatter inside of your own head that's

causing you to go down a doubt unrolled, stressed out spiral.

And then my fifth tip would be routine, our bodies thrive on

routine. So maybe it's going to take a couple nights before you

can actually fall asleep faster. But if you start implementing

these tricks, no tack an hour before bed, something warm,

light stretching, and then a sleep hypnosis or a sleep

meditation before bed. And then you put that into a routine

where you do it consistently the same time every night. 10

o'clock, my phone goes off, no more phone, you know, after I

turn my phone off, then I'm going to do a little bit of

stretching, maybe some journaling. And then at

1011 is when I put on my hypnosis, whatever that might be

for you. So just getting the consistency showing up for

yourself. Every single night, your body will set into that

routine. These different tasks are going to become anchors and

trigger points for your body to start shutting down into the

rest zone. So try out these tips. Do it consistently for at

least a week and let me know how you feel.
